    Opeth - Heritage

    It's been you-know-what. Along with Dream Theater's new album, but I don't care about that band, although some of you probably will. This new album has no cookie monster vocals for those who have been looking for that from them. Opinions? EDIT: Yeah, I like what I am hearing in their first 3...

    Immortal - All Shall Fall

    Is this the best metal album of all time . Seriously, I was surprised by how heavy it sounds, it sounds a lot like their pre-At the Heart of Winter stuff. Great comeback.

    Megadeth - "Head Crusher" MP3 Download Straight from Roadrunner Records. What do you guys think of it? I think it's awesome, hopefully we are getting something like The System has Failed instead of the disappointing United Abominations.

    What's the best way to make those rectangles is cases?

    So far I am using drill holes -> file, and the filing part can get really annoying, especially when you need to be careful of not scratching your case. So does anyone have a better idea as to how you can make those rectangles for your IEC sockets and buttons easily and quickly?

    Gorod - Process of a New Decline

    Have you guys checked this out? I am a bit disappointed in it compared to their last 2 albums, which to me is without the doubt the 2 greatest death metal albums ever. But fans of Necrophagist should love this a lot.

    Recommend me some cheapskate classical music

    Stuff like Zinman's Beethoven symphonies, you know really cheap and yet just as good if not better than the full priced sets. I am open to anything, be it Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Mahler, Chopin, Wagner, anything under the sun.

    Has anyone tried to new SA6?

    You know, this one. I have just lost my SA6 and I was wondering whether I should get this. Does anyone know if the longer chrome sleeve solves the problems of the nozzle breaking?

    Someone explain to me the W5000

    I am thinking of getting the W5000 as an upgrade/companion for my AD2000, and I have been hearing a lot about how it's very picky about its source and how you need to built your source around it to get its best. So, what type of amps counts as being worthy for the W5000 and what type of amps...

    Can someone teach me how to roll op-amps?

    Not how to take out/put in the op amps, but when you are rolling op amps what do you need to take note of in the datasheet? How do you know that the maximum input voltage to the op amp's supply is too small? How do you ensure that the input bias current is not too big and you are not getting too...

    Metallica vs Megadeth

    Hey, all forums must have this topic if they are to be considered a music forum. Which band do you guys like more? I am personally of the opinion that Megadeth >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Metallica. Friedman, Poland, Ellefson and co are just far more talented than the Metallica crew. And Mustaine writes...

    Recommend me some 60's/70's pop/rock more awesome than The Beatles

    Stuff like The Zombies - Odyssey And Oracle and The Kinks - Village Green Preservation Society. "Nothing is better than The Beatles" isn't a valid answer.

    Death Metal with good production?

    I am on a lookout for well-produced death metal. Stuff like Gorod - Leading Vision Anata - The Conductor's Departure Cynic - Focus (the new remix) Akercocke - Words That Go Unspoken, Deeds That Go Undone (death + black metal) What other death metal albums have good production values?

    I am looking for some awesome female fronted rock, like The Gathering. Yeah, I am looking for someone on the level of Anneke van Giersbergen. So, any recommendations?

    The D7000 IS an improvement from the D5000

    And a more than slight improvement. The flaws which are present in the D5000 are essentially fixed, the recessed mids are gone, the bass is much more controlled and has more impact, the treble rolloff is gone without turning into a bright phone. To me the D7000 is pretty much the winner of the...

    Why hasn't SMD caught up for DIY amp designs?

    I think that with the closer component placement and the lesser inductance/capacitance due to not having the component wires a SMD based amp probably will have a better performance than a through hole amp. Plus SMD parts are cheaper than through hole parts. I know that getting those large...

    Heat Sink questions

    a) When there's no issue of the heat sink fitting the case is taller = better? As in more heat will be removed? b) Is thermal component/thermalsil necessary or recommended, again if there's no issue of the heat sink touching the case?

    Panasonic vs Nichicon caps

    I am building a B22, and I am trying to get everything from Mouser, but I have heard a lot about the Panasonic FC and I was wondering if it is worth it to spend more and order from digikey for the Panasonic capacitors. Or should I stick to Nichicon HE?

    Is the ε12 worth it?

    I am thinking of including one for my 3 channel B22. I don't mind the popping sounds but I am a bit afraid of the damage that the DC offsets can deal to my headphones. So is it worth it to build a ε12 for my B22? Will it degrade my sound quality in any way? Thanks.

    Good music that's available for free? Legally?

    As in 100% unquestionably legal? Of any genre? I'll start by recommending Anacrusis, they have put some of their stuff up in their website. I highly recommend everyone to check out Screams and Whispers + Manic Impressions, these 2 are easily among the most underrated metal classics ever...

    I have the Ibasso D2 at the moment and I am planning to make a γ1 DAC. And I want to make an amp to go with the γ1. What I am looking for is something thats: - Fast and snappy. - Adds a bit of bass. - Doesn't eat up a single bit of treble (preferably it adds a bit of treble). - As clean...

    Sleek SA6's new bass+ port

    IMHO, out of the box the bass response of the new bass+ port is utter turd. Boomy and weak, it is certainly inferior to the old bass+ port. But after removing away that filter (along with that yellow tube) the bass response is actually shockingly good. It sounds like a louder version of the...
